President [[Richard Nixon]] was deeply involved in the strategy of ''[[Detente]]'', the plan to end [[Cold War]] tensions which led to the "winless wars" of [[Korean War|Korea]] and [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]] when he came up for reelection in 1972.  He was unanimously renominated by the [[Republican]] party for reelection as president.  The [[Democratic]] nominee after a bitter battle was [[George McGovern]].  The campaign was rough and although Nixon remained popular, during the campaign the Democratic headquarters of Watergate were broken into.  However it was small at the time compared to the destruction being done on Republican headquarters in Texas, Ohio, Minnesota, Arizona and California.{{fact|January=2008}}  The voters overwhelmingly chose Nixon in what remains the widest popular margin ever.  <ref> [[Encyclopedia of Presidents, Richard Nixon]], by Dee Lillegard, Children's Press, 1987, pp. 77-78.  </ref>
